I did not have much energy for a hard workout today. Did what I could. My stress level is sky high with the distressed Lil Fort and it's taking a toll on me. I think I will have to take tomorrow off just to get some errands done. Among other things I have to get finger printed for an FBI check so they can make sure I'm not a child molester. However, I think today might, just might (it's not bedtime yet), be the first day since school started without tears.

the Acceptance stage?
by the way, we've had one of our daughters see a counselor for her anxiety in the past and it never works unless she wants to. it's otherwise a complete waste of time.

Not yet. Last night she had a bout of insomnia and this morning was just horrible. I'm going to give counseling a try still, but you are right that they have to want it to work. She had a half way decent day after the last session. Even went on a run with Mr. Fort last night.
